reached Spokane Falls the weather was
so mild that overcoats were not needed,

ETC., could be left ont doors with no
danger of freezing. And that was only

The True Condition In Utan.

rom tuo Sl. i2uuie eIoSfDisposSh'
The truth about Utah can be told in
avery small space. Its condition can
be summed up in a few words. In
United States Marshal Dyer's office at
Salt Lake City there are over seven
hundred Indictments waiting to be
served--nll against Mormons who have
violated the laws of the country and
who are resisting those laws to their
utmost efforts. The indictments are
for polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
tion. They have not been served be-
cause the indicted parties are fugitives
from Justice, and they are not the com
mon scrutf of Mormondon either; not
the uneducated Danes and Swedes who
are brought into Utah in droves, but
the cream of Mormon intelligence and
the highest dignitaries OF the church.
Seven hundred of them under in,
dictment and in hiding; and the Mar
shal told ME there were about one
thousand more polygamists who were

too were included in the hunt. Fully
fifteen hundred of the polygamic citi
Zens of Utah, to state the fact mildly,
are resisting the laws of the land, and
dare not show themselves in public fol
fear of arrest. At the lowest esti aate
there are 5000 men in Utah who are
living in polygamy, but nearly one
half of this number are practicing the
principle on the quiet and will not ac

Railway Reform la Germany.

The tendency toward reform in rail
way travelling, which was begun IL
Austria, has already reached Ger
many. Herr George Willie, of Hano
yer, has submitted TO the Board o.
Trade. at Hildesheim, plan which
aims at timely reform in the ucke'
system. He recommends the issue by
the German railways of so-called
"kiIometer coupons" namely. OF trav
elling booklets for distances OF 1000
., 600 and 5000 kilometers, in handy
coupons OF 1, 8. 10, so and 100 kilo
meters. On these the purchaser Is tc
have reduction of fare of 25 per cent
for 1, 900 kilomeiers, 33 1.3 per cent
on 1900 kilometers, and 80 per cent
on 5000 kilometers-a reduction
which corresponds to that of the pres
ent round, return and summer tickets.
The coupons are to be taken in pay
ment at all the ticket offices; the
owner of a booklet, which Is made
personal, is to be recognized by his
photograph therein inserted, with his
signature attached; each coupon has
TO have the exact number OF kilometers
for whicl it is valid stamped upon it,
and In case of death or inability to
continue the journey the railway ad-
mjnistration is to redeem the unused
coupons, be it the owner himself or
his heirs.

Bean bag parties are all the rage in
Washington, and society bellies are be.
coming very expert at the new game.
At one end OF the parlor or hall is
placed an inclined board with o
square hole in it. Standing at the
other end-Gnd the further away
from the board the more fun there is
in the game-the players pitch ten
bean bags toward the hole. A regu.
lar score is kept, and ii the ten bags
fall in the hole it counts 100, or ten
for each bag. Another bag, double
the usual size, is also provided, and il
this also is thrown into the square
opening it adds twenty, making 120
the highest possible score. Should
ANY of the bags remain on the board
they count five points apiece, but for
every bag that is tn own upon or falls
to the floor five points are subtracted
The big bag, or Jumbo, counts double,
or ten in each case.
Many young society ladies have DC
come quite expert at pitching the little
bags, and show excellent judgment
and skill in accurately gaugIng the
distance and the strength necessary to
be excrted. In most cases the bags
are made OF gayiy colored ticking,
Jumbo being individualized by mate
rial of a different pattern, but few
young ladies have taken pains to have
handsomely embroidered receptacles
for the beans. The board is generally
of plain wood. polished. about 3 feet
wide and feet long, and 0 or 10 inches
high at its greatest distance from tht
ground. The hole is about inches
square and the smaller bags little
/ larger. "Jumbo" contains a pint o
beans and the other size half tha
quantity. In many houses where TIL,
game is played handsome prizes ar,
awarded to those making the highes
scores. The sport is full of interest
and bean bag boards are now found il
every household which expects to b'
considered up to the times.
